FvF Interview - Meet Martin Carvajal the most relaxed professional for men’s fashion in New York
“ I remember living with two of my best friends in an apartment and I thought we were really lucky with our set up. But now if I look back, it was kind of a shit hole. I remember the times where the option of calling a cab didn’t exist. It could be 4 a.m. in Manhattan, exhausted after partying, half drunk and I would not even think of jumping in a cab, because of my tight budget. Good times.”
It got even better: In 2011 Martin founded his own clothing brand FairEnds with longtime friend Ben Ferencz. You can check out their collection here.

“Une fille comme les autres” by Matthew Frost
Yes- we are a bit late with this one, but we just call it a classic and share it anyways. Director Matthew Frost shot this nice video for French fashion magazine Jalouse, featuring one of the sexiest tooth-gaps there are at the moment: Ashley Smith. Watching it makes us want to throw away our winterboots and have a glass of crémant at a Parisian Bar tout de suite!

The Yellow River Surging Northward Rumblingly - Zhang Kechun
The yellow river is the latest work of Chinese artist and photographer Zhang Kechun. In a series of twentyseven pictures Kechun documents the in-between landscape of today’s China. Heading towards the future and abandoning the past, losing the strong bond to nature that has been so long in the core of Chinese culture, Kechuns pictures seem to question all of these. They are longing for identity in a space where nothing is constituted, yet.
